12 Simple Ways for Well-Being Instead Of Feeling Stressed

The Holiday Season has arrived and it happens to be my favorite time of the year! The combination of Thanksgiving and the festivities surrounding the season provides a wonderful time to reflect, show gratitude, and appreciate just how great life has been to you. This can also be a season of stress and worry. Many find their emotions are in full gear constantly going up and down with no remedy in sight. Maybe you’ve noticed your own frame of mind is out of balance. Perhaps you’re feeling a little stressed thinking about all the things you need to do. I can bet that you are most likely being pulled in different directions with a laundry list of must do’s, and a schedule that’s bursting at the seams! Don’t worry you’re not alone and before things progress too far let’s look at some solutions that will actively set in motion your intention for you feeling better, being happier and improving your well-being during this holiday season.

12 Simple Ways for Well-Being Instead Of Feeling Stressed

  • Write a list of things to do on paper that come to your mind. Prioritize them by what is most important. Does it really have to be done by you or can the responsibility be delegated to someone else?
  • Create a system for routine tasks that you regularly do that are not working to your satisfaction. If it doesn’t work make some simple tweaks with the system until it does.
  • Do less, not more. Is there something that is not really necessary that I can skip doing but still get what I want done? Choose what aligns with your overall goals
  • Get support. Find a coach or call a trusted friend or family member you can turn to that you trust.
  • Move your body. Create a routine to do, a simple exercise that you think is fun, even if it’s for 5 or ten minutes.
  • Get some fresh air, go for a leisurely walk. This will give you an instant pick me up from what you were presently doing. For those of you who are near a beach, stare at the water and listen to the sounds of waves.
  • Always do your best, look for excellence not expect perfection.
  • Don’t compare yourself to others. Do what is in your heart, Use your experience as a stepping stone to the next great opportunity that lies ahead.
  • Don’t be so hard on yourself. There is no benefit to you to beat yourself up, Worry less and relax more. In the end, the more you learn to relax the more you will actually get done.
  • Schedule a fun night out with your friends. Schedule the time on your calendar.
  • Book a massage. Your body will thank you. For those if you who have had massage before, treat yourself to an additional 30 minutes. (I love my 2 hour massage to relax and have time to myself).
  • Designate a place in a room where you live that you feel safe to stop, listen and take some deep breadths. Feel the quiet, the tranquility and the peace within you. Tranquility is a great state of mind to be in.

Here is a short breathing exercise that is simple and can be done just about anywhere.

  • Sit or lie down
  • Slowly count to five while you breathe in through your nose. Hold your breath for a moment.
  • Count to five again while breathing out slowly through your mouth.
  • Repeat 3 times and feel a shift in you.

Everybody needs a bit of calm, peace, and moments of quiet in order to relax. This can be a challenge in our busy day to day responsibilities but an action that is crucial for your overall well-being. There are so many different ways you can choose to relax, so experiment to find out what works best for you. Try first to undertake one tip, and if it doesn’t work, do another until you find what works for you. Don’t wait for the New Year to make some changes. There is still time in this year to create habits that will help you feel better. Let today be the day you shift your mindset to more positive thoughts. Remember to always be gentle with yourself and gain understanding as you increase your self-care for a richer and happier life.

Happy Holidays!

In living the lifestyle you desire,
